Projection display device
A projection display device having a plurality of light sources and including a plurality of light sensors installed in association with the light sources, respectively, and a controller for controlling amounts of lights emitted from the light sources depending on corresponding output signals from the light sensors to keep constant a ratio of the amount of light emitted from the light sources. The controller controls each light sources used in control signals whose frequencies are different from each other.
